The Homebuilt Hydrofoil

Dad and I saw some videos on YouTube of people using Air Chairs and Sky Skis, but only a couple of videos of people standing up on any sort of hydrofoil. We looked at hydrofoils carefully on several websites, and then designed our own. We built the main strut out of two threaded stainless steel rods that we wrapped in fiberglass. The rest is built out of plywood and epoxy and a few bolts. I will post more pictures of the final result soon. We have used it and it works great! In my next post I will link to a video that I'm posting on YouTube right now.

Back in Grenada

Hi everybody. I have left North Carolina and am now staying on board my parents boat "Te Natura". Here is a link their website. Soon I'll post some pictures of the stuff I've been doing down here but in the meantime I can tell you that I've been surfing, swimming, wakeboarding, freediving, and playing in the water every day!

Boat Pictures

These pictures show the white hull paint and the black bottom paint but I am still waiting for the green paint for the stripes. I also have the running lights deployed and turned on.

Boat PIctures

Here are some pictures of the boat with the bimini and the ski pole up.
